Produktbeschreibung

A Scripted Life, a funnily tender-hearted tear-fest, follows the life of a woman who is suddenly transported from an everyday life, in the Home Counties of England, to the heights of the Hollywood Hills. Here we meet Tilly Stiller, an English middle-aged writer who has to keep up with the fast paced world of Film if she hopes to achieve her goal. A dream she never thought would come true, does, and when she attends her first Beverly Hills party, she meets the one man she has always dreamt of meeting.

Charlie Kerman, a West Coast Rock Star, has everything a wealthy man could ever want, yet there's still something missing. He slowly recovers from his failed marriage, with the help of his best boy, Dev, plus the crew he surrounds himself with, but everything changes when he meets an English novelist at a party. By the end of the evening she has suggested they team up to create the movie's soundtrack. Charlie accepts, not knowing what the future holds in store for him.

From a working relationship to love is an easy path to amble, especially when you have certain elements in common. Tilly and Charlie have several things to bond over, a lost parent, music, and the way they structure words to produce the desired outcome. As they spend more time in each other's company, Charlie realises the plain woman is not what she really seems. There are many depths to Tilly Stiller, and he slowly notices he is starting to like quite a few of them. Tilly has as many demons as Charlie, but she just manages her's in a better way, and when she realises the condition that killed her Dad is coming for her, their lives change dramatically again, and Tilly finds she is living the sad Love Story told in her Blockbuster Movie.

Writing History of Tam Sturgeon

1970's
I find myself reciting poetry at middle school in Christmas Assemblies. Pam Ayres a particular favourite (and remembered to this day).

1980's
I start writing poetry in Secondary School, after finding a poem in a Sunday Supplement. An emotionally charged home life gives me reason to lose myself when my mother is being all weird and shouty. Poetry takes me away from that. I find it comes easily and is prolific. I write various lyrics and silly ditties for birthdays and weddings.

2003-2004
I start my first novel, Champagne Hurricane, a rock and roll love story, whilst I'm having an emotional breakdown. The first in the line of my life changing events starts with my Father dying then my first husband leaving me, all within 18 months of each other. I'm awarded Runner-up in a Writer's Forum Magazine Competition. I start Art College and use my poems as part of my finals. It earns me a Distinction. I find I have enough material to write my 1st and 2nd book of poetry.

2004-2009
The next three books of poetry are written, one after the other in quick concession. I then relocate to Somerset. The novel is put on the backburner, due to a demanding second husband which ends very badly for me.

2010
I relocate back to Bucks, finding myself with little to show for my time away. I return to my writing and the first novel, which is finished before the New Year.

2011
A massive near fatal heart attack in the March leaves me on the verge of another emotional breakdown. I start to write my second novel and take a very level headed look at my life. Being housebound pushes me back into writing once more, and two more volumes of poetry are poured out before the end of the year. A new novel is also started, a Werewolf and Vampire love story, which runs parallel with the second. Six others novels are also dabbled with, but soon fall by the wayside.

2012
I finish the second, and two more books of poetry are completed. A 10th volume of A-Z Pocket Poetry is then completed. The third novel, still in its infancy, is set aside as the rhythm of the ode becomes my favourite once more. I tell myself the poetry collection will end at volume thirteen.

2013
With the New Year comes more poetry, the 11th book, 12th, and 13th. Later that year my first novel is ePublished to Smashwords.com and is welcomed with open arms by the readers, gaining 10, 5...
